"The park takes its name from the Juniper Valley Swamp, which covered an area of about 100 acres from Caldwell Avenue south to Juniper Valley Road. The swamp and surrounding area were blanketed by a thick forest of Juniper and White Cedar trees. Before the site of Juniper Valley Park was improved for recreational purposes, it was used variously as a farm, a cemetery, a source for peat moss, the property of a racketeer, and a garbage dump.

In the early 1930s the City of New York acquired the bog to settle a $225,000 claim in back taxes against the estate of the infamous Arnold Rothstein (1882-1928), who had been accused of fixing the 1919 World Series. Rothstein had purchased land in Middle Village on which he erected 143 flimsy houses with the hope of raising property values. Rejecting proposals to use Rothsteinās "Phantom Village" as the site of a municipal airport or as the site of the Queens civic center, government officials chose instead to develop the land for use as a park. The bog was mined to provide landscaping material for parks and parkways. The land and four adjacent parcels were acquired for park purposes between 1937 and 1949.
From 1941 to 1942, squads of Works Progress Administration workers transformed the barren land into one of Queensās most beloved parks. Plans called for paths, playgrounds, fences, benches, a wading pool, and a variety of athletic facilties for tennis, paddle tennis, badminton, handball, shuffleboard, ice skating, and bicycling. Baseball and softball fields were built on top of the Department of Sanitationās former landfill dump. The extensive horticultural program included the planting of 168 new shade trees, 2000 rose bushes, thousands of shrubs, and vast lawn areas."

This is a first of the year sighting for me. The Juniper Hairstreak does gather nectar but they visit the cedar trees to lay their eggs.
Ziarat at a height of 2400m is a famous holiday resort in the Baluchistan province. It is famous for its Juniper forest that is the second largest of such kind in the world. It can be reached via Quetta or Sanjavi(Loralai) by 2-3 hours drive.
Producing berries which are green in the first year, turning blue in the second, the common juniper (Juniperis communis) has needles which turn brown in the fall but are retained throughout the year.
You know that classic Western scene where you come across bleached human bones in the middle of the desert? Well, now I know what happened to the poor unfortunate victim. They starved to death because they stopped to photograph every photogenic gnarled juniper they happened across. So mostly I refrained. But this one I just couldn't resist.

I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr. Have a super day!
Noisy on the one hand but secretive as well, the Juniper Titmouse makes it very hard to get a nice photo. Occasionally, they will hop up to the top of a tree (a juniper, as well) and check out their surroundings, while I check them out photographically.
I never did find the eggs or early instars but today there were several of these late instars and a few adults.

Taken on a hike on Saturday. One of the few trails in the very flat Florida Panhandle with a view. This is on a bluff overlooking Juniper Creek.
Lots of buttercups are blooming now, but I only rarely see a juniper hairstreak. This one posed nicely.
Here in Belgium it's the wrong season to introduce her...
but here she is...
Juniper June

This wee one was four inches next to my other Juniper .
I figured id give it better space for the both of them and since this is the youngest it will survive transplanting better .
Juniper comes with the new MLP Equestria Girls Movie Theater. She is definitely becoming one of my favorite EQ girls ever. The theater is adorable too. Normally I just keep the dolls in these sets but between the theater, Pinkie's cafe, and Sunset Shimmer's sushi truck I think some the furniture pieces will actually stick around this time.

one of several Juniper Shieldbugs found in various conifers in Hastings Cemetery - having looked on many occasions there seems to be a very healthy population therein, lots of ornamental conifers in a quiet location

Brins Mesa Trail.
We did a fantastic loop hike up Soldiers Pass Trail and down Brins Mesa Trail, taking Cibola Pass Trail (after an ill-advised off-trail detour to Cibola Mitten) back to Soldiers Pass Trail for a 6 mile loop hike. On Brins Mesa, we took photos of the recovery of the mesa from the 2006 Brins Fire, part of a long-term project to document the recovery in photos. Coming off the mesa rim, we thought we could hike off-trail up to the saddle between Cibola Mittens and Brins Ridge and locate a trail down to Soldiers Pass Trail from there. While we're pretty sure there's a non-system trail leading up to the Mitten, we went off-trail at the first attractive wash, and ended up bush-whacking and clawing our way up to the saddle... about halfway up to the saddle, covered in scratches, I announced quite vocally that going off-trail was a really dumbass thing to do. We made it to the saddle, and the setting sunlight on the red rocks probably made the bushwhacking worth it. We watched the sun set behind Capitol Butte, then discovered we couldn't find the trail down (if, indeed, there is one) and opted to head for Cibola Pass Trail instead of take our chances. It was solidly dark by the time we hit Soldiers Pass Trail, but a half moon helped light our way and we kept the flashlights in the pack.

Juniper Island lies 3 miles from the Burlington waterfront of Lake Champlain. It is privately owned and, obscured by its crown of trees, contains the oldest cast iron lighthouse in the United States.
I dug this little guy up from the woods in Storrs almost two years ago. This year, I started pruning the outer growth agressively, and twisting him all around. I think this is Juniperus communis (Common juniper).
